We just reserved that keyword for future use :-/. The only way to merge
multiple scripts is by using the 'cpp' preprocessor yourself in combination
with #include directives. You should then only load the preprocessed file.

On the other hand, it isn't such a big addition to support 'include' in the
scripting language, but then the 'include path' feature would be needed to,
which is less evident to specify in our setting.
